Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by Felix, the “Upright Bassist”
Rated 3 out of 5
by Felix, the “Upright Bassist”, 4 years agoRichtig scheiße, denn das fördert Clutter und Chaos bei (zu) vielen Tabs und Fenstern:
Nach Auswahl bei einem Tab von „Always open this site in …“* öffnet sich
1. ohne Warnung/Hinweis
• ein (anscheinend) Klon des Tabs**, und zwar
• dort, wo gerade Aktivität war, also schlimmstenfalls, wo er im Leben nicht hingehört.
Das könnte ich noch verschmerzen, auch wenn es nervt. Aber
2. — wieder ohne Warnung/Hinweis! —
• es öffnen sich (alle? zumindest sehr, sehr viele) weitere(n) Inzidienzien dieses Tabs; in meinem Falle waren es zuerst hunderte, weil ich zuerst die dringendste Herausforderung an Privatheit angehen wollte.
Übrigens zunächst mit der (dann ziemlich) dussligen Warnung unter dem Titel “Multi-Account Containers Confirm Navigation”* mit dem Inhalt “Open this site in your assigned container? You asked Firefox to always open CarmaChamleon for this site: (…URL…) Would you still like to open in this current container?
[ ] Remember my decision for this site
[Open in Current Container] [Open in CarmaChamleon]”*.
Und dann noch einer… noch einer… noch… noch…noch… und nochundnochundnochundnochundnoch — und… so weiter.
Das erinnert mich an Windows-Installation im Vergleich zu Mac (früher jedenfalls): Windows fragt jeweils zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten Dinge ab, statt diese vorab in einem Rutsch zu klären…
Suggestions to the developers:
Please consider those people who — like me — are “tab hoarders”.
—> warn that possibly hundreds of tabs will open when making that choice (at least once, with remember of course), or better
—> find another way of dealing with that situation:
• open in place, why not the same tab anyway? At least in the same window!!! — I (try to) put order into the placing of tabs in different windows, so don't mess with that, please…
• and… well no “and”, that would heal the problem of cluttery and confusion.
In the meantime, address us “tab hoarders” at least by putting up a warning on first usage, better yet a set of instructions — maybe there's a better way to set it up without annoyance and confusion?
Bear in mind, we might have fairly slow computers still in use, so when testing, consider that as well…
Thank you.
And, another thing:
translation.
With German, I offer help. My English is, hm, okay; my German is excellent, I love to use precise expressions that are still easy to understand.
* Übersetzung?!?!? — Deutsch ist nun nicht eine Sprache, die bloß von 20 versprengten Individuen in weit verstreuten Hütten in der Tundra oder dem Regenwald gesprochen wird…!
Ich würde auch dabei helfen, da ich auch Englisch recht gut beherrsche.

- Rated 1 out of 5by trav1295, 2 days agoFor some reason, this extension breaks Firefox Sync. When I enable this extension and try to turn on the cloud sync functionality of the containers, Sync no longer works (says "Syncing" endlessly). If I click "Manage Account" in the Profile menu, it opens to an error. I can't remember what it says because I've had to create multiple Firefox profiles to fix this and gave up.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16775370, 2 days agoGreat so far. Has me going back to Firefox as my main browser, although I never stopped using it fully. Not sure if it holds logged in sessions at well as it used to, but that could be me.

- Rated 1 out of 5by nightwatchrenband, 6 days agoNOT enjoying at ALL. All my customized containers disappeared, only 4 default containers. There is NO "Manage Containers" option anymore. So I cannot even recreate them. What the sam hill is going on ?

- Rated 2 out of 5by Steve Lavendar, 6 days agoCame across this one a couple of months ago, thinking that's just what I've been looking for: an extension that allows me to quickly bookmark (right-click or keyboard shortcut would be nice) a site into “containers” (for lack of a better description).
Alas, this one turns out to be a bit like one those earlier Chinese apps I had to deal with while living & teaching there:
Great idea(s)! Though execution suc*s!
Example: while the initial premise of being able to create separate accounts for separate purposes kinda works, the extension doesn't seem to be able to store bookmarks in their related containers. As soon as I close & reopen Firefox the containers are once again empty, and I need to re-research for the sites I was looking for. To make matters worse, there doesn't seem to be an option to drag n drop existing (or new) bookmarks to related containers. Guess we gotta wait for an AI, or otherwise intelligent, solution.
Would be a great extension if it would offer an intuitive way to bookmark & save sites into relevant containers (and keep them there after closing FF).
Then again, I probably didn’t get the initial purpose of this extension, and might be looking in the wrong place, or perhaps I just don’t get what’s it trying to offer. Cheers. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alejandro, 7 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Александр, 12 days agoThis is incredible add-on. For improve i recomend add "+" bellow each group of bookmarks for faster opening in container
